CHAPTER ± IV *SWOT Analysis *Recommendations *Suggestion 6.CONCLUSION 7.LIMITATION 8.BIBLIOGRAPHY 9.QUESTIONNAIRE [pic] [pic] [pic] CHAPTER-I INTRODUCTION A soft drink is a beverage, often carbonated, that does not contain alcohol. (Carbonated soft drinks are more commonly known as soda,pop, tonic,or soda pop in parts of the United States and Canada, or fizzy drinks in the U.K.; sometimes called minerals in Ireland) The name "soft drink" specifies a lack of alcohol by the way of contrast to the term "hard drink". The term "drink", while nominally neutral, often carries connotations of alcoholic content. Beverages like colas, sparkling water, iced tea, lemonade, squash, and fruit punch are among the most common types of soft drinks, while hot chocolate,hot tea, coffe, milk,tap water, alcohol, and milkshakes do not fall into this classification. Many carbonated soft drinks are optionally available in versions sweetened with sugars or with non- caloric sweeteners SCOPE OF PROJECT 1. Detailed study of the non carbonated soft drinks industry in India 2. Analysis of Frooti’s performance against the other prevailing noncarbonated soft drinks brands in the country. 3.

...Holy Spirit” and the “Rapture”. I choose these topics because they both bring topics of debate with them. There are many different views on these two topics and I will try to shed some light on them. Through Biblical research and theological definitions, we will try to discover the purpose and meanings of the Baptism of the Holy Spirit and the Rapture. The first topic of discussion is the Baptism of the Holy Spirit. This topic stirs up much debate in the denominational realms of the church. There are many different views and standpoints on this topic. John 1:33 states that when John the Baptist, after witnessing the descent of the Holy Spirit as a dove at the baptism of Jesus, recorded these words: “He that sent me to baptize with water, the same said unto me, Upon whom thou shalt see the Spirit descending, and remaining on him, the same is he which baptizes with the Holy Ghost”. Later Jesus promised His disciples, “Ye shall be baptized with the Holy Ghost not many days hence” (Acts 1:5). On the day of Pentecost, the disciples had a number of experiences involving the Holy Spirit, including the baptism of the Holy Spirit. The disciples spoke in tongues to address the gospel of Christ to many different nations in attendance of Pentecost. This event was the start of the church and its spread of the gospel of Christ to all nations. Many Christians today have confused some of the facts recorded on Acts 2 and, as a result, they do not fully realize what the Holy Spirit done...

No one is good but God alone. 19You know the commandments: “You shall not murder; You shall not commit adultery; You shall not steal; You shall not bear false witness; You shall not defraud; Honour your father and mother.” ’ 20He said to him, ‘Teacher, I have kept all these since my youth.’ 21Jesus, looking at him, loved him and said, ‘You lack one thing; go, sell what you own, and give the money to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven; then come, follow me.’ 22When he heard this, he was shocked and went away grieving, for he had many possessions. 23 Then Jesus looked around and said to his disciples, ‘How hard it will be for those who have wealth to enter the kingdom of God!’ 24And the disciples were perplexed at these words. But Jesus said to them again, ‘Children, how hard it is to enter the kingdom of God! 25It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for someone who is rich to enter the kingdom of God.’ 26They were greatly astounded and said to one another, ‘Then who can be saved?’ 27Jesus looked at them and said, ‘For mortals it is impossible, but not for God; for God all things are possible.’ 28 Peter began to say to him, ‘Look, we have left everything and...

...Greener is Cleaner Gregory J. Goba Integrated Perspectives on Business Saint Leo University March 27, 2016 Dr. Blanch CleanSpritz, a subsidiary of MJ Brenner is a manufacturer of cleaning supplies whose target market is threefold. The three industries are as follows: industrial products, home cleaning products, and auto cleaning products. Stateside revenue for their product line reached $53.76 million in 2011. However, since 2008, annual sales have been on the decline by an average of 7.5% annually (Gold, 2015). As a result of their declining sales, MJ Brenner VP of strategy gave CleanSpritz’ marketing team, led by Claire Beaton, six months to devise a plan to revive their sales strategy. Next, we will review a SWOT analysis of CleanSpritz. Strengths When considering the market for all-purpose cleaners, CleanSpritz had 14% of the market share, more than any other cleaner on the market. With such a large market share, Claire would have a sizeable population to conduct market analysis and obtain valuable product insight. This insight would undoubtedly be vital as she presented her strategic proposal to Brenner's Strategy team. CleanSpritz has already received positive feedback from several potential commercial customers regarding the 3:1 concentrate. Using the same data from table 4 (Gold, 2015), and presuming that the commercial business is as successful as the market for all-purpose cleaners, CleanSpritz would stand to gain a competitive advantage over its competitors...

...to conform to a new vision of a non-mythological God and a monotheistic, superior religion. “The Pentateuch developed against the background of the Ancient Near Eastern culture first cultivated in and spread by Sumerian, Assyrian, and Babylonian empires”. This exemplifies how Israelite religion, was “shaped by responses to and reactions against this culture due both to contacts with neighboring Canaanites and to conflicts with Assyrian and Babylonian empires”. Genesis 1:1-2:4a can therefore be said to reflect the “Babylonian account of creation, which we call Enuma Elish…known from at least 1700 BCE,” “predating the earliest text of Genesis by at least a millennium.” In both Genesis and the ancient Babylonian myth, water is divided into upper and lower waters. The Enuma Elish is recorded on seven tablets and the Genesis account is completed in seven days. The Babylonians created humans to serve as slaves yet in Genesis God creates humans in the likeness of the divine. The Priestly source penned the creation story with the intent of being a “monumental historiographic composition…with the purpose of portraying both the beginnings of mankind and Israel in the spirit of a monotheistic concept with a didactic aim.” This conveys the notion of a pure and superior religion assuming Gods eternity; as Genesis 1:1 states that in the beginning He created not that he was created. It is therefore implied that at the beginning of time God was already there, and as nothing is created from...

...Ice Skates and their evolution ORIGINS OF ICE SKATES INVESTIGATIONS INTO THE ORIGINS OF ICE SKATES Executive Summary There is much debate in the field of history; conjecture and interpretation of facts are often misinterpreted due to the lack of evidence. The origin of ice skates is subject to much of these misconceptions. Though there have been many interesting and intriguing finds in this area, the origins are still debated. The true origins of ice skates is unknown; however there are many theories to who invented it, five cultures if not more believe that they have a claim to the invention. This project will illustrate known ideas about the origins of ice skates, revealing common and uncommon theories, as well as display the evolution of the ice skate in terms of design and the technologies used at each specific era.

...MIGUEL, Karl Ann D. INTSOCI C33 Freakonomics by Stephen Levitt and Stephen J. Dubner Introduction: The Hidden Side of Everything There are several things required to understand the world through economics: first, knowing the incentives of all parties; second, realizing that conventional wisdom is usually wrong; third, understanding that most effects have subtle and distant causes and the most obvious is often the wrong one; fourth, specialists like salesman and lawyers use obscure knowledge to achieve their own ends and the internet helps to erode this advantage by making knowledge more freely available to people; lastly, data is invaluable to understanding the world. Chapter 1: What Do Schoolteachers and Sumo Wrestlers Have in Common? People all learn to respond to incentives, whether positive or negative from the outset of life. An incentive is simply a means of urging people to do more of a good thing and less of a bad thing. There are three basic flavors of incentive: economic, social and moral. Economic incentive is something material or tangible; moral is based of self-judgments; social is terribly powerful as it depicts what other people think of you resulting from your own actions or choices. Any incentive is inherently a trade-off; whatever the incentive, whatever the situation, dishonest people will try to gain an advantage by whatever means necessary. Cheating is a natural act getting more for less. The government required the High-Stakes Testing as part of...

...very significant and it could affect the subsequent steps of risk management as well as the whole project. In other words, if a risk management plan does not has the sufficient preparation in response part, the subsequent risk management process (monitoring & controlling) would generate mistakes and the previous effort (planning, identification and analysis) would be wasted. This paper uses PMBOK (main reference) and several scholarly articles (secondary references) to elaborate the definition of risk response planning, find necessary tools & techniques, emphasize the importance of risk trigger and contingency plan, and discuss some key factors which could affect the risk response decision. Keywords: risk response planning, contingency plan, risk trigger, risk response decision Risk Response Planning To begin with, I want to use the content of PMBOK to define the risk response planning. Plan Risk Responses is the process of developing options and actions to enhance opportunities and to reduce threats to project objectives. It follows the Perform Qualitative Risk Analysis process and the Perform Quantitative Risk Analysis process (if used). It includes the identification and assignment of one person (the “risk response owner”) to take responsibility for each agreed-to and funded risk response. Plan Risk Responses addresses the risks by their priority, inserting resources and activities into the budget, schedule and project management plan as needed (PMBOK, 2004). Since...
